The Results are Official
The 37th Annual Fort Lauderdale to Key West Race official results are in! The last boat crossed the finish line at 10:49 am Friday– 46 hours after the start. The race started in 20-25 kt south wind and 4-6 ft seas. Soon after, the wind died and the weather was changing the rest of the race. The wind angles were such that sail changes, tacks and gybes were numerous for all boats. Thirty nine boats started the race, while only 20 sailed to the finish. Rambler (RP 90) was the First to Finish, but on corrected time, Sarah (X41) won the IRC Class. Denali was 2nd across the line and won their class and the PHRF Division, also netting them the award for “Best Overall Performance”.

The award for “Best on the Water Reporting”’ on the official SORC Face book page was won by Stephanie Sweeney and the crew of Nanuq, who posted numerous photos and notes from their sail to Key West.
